History
- He sends his bodyguards (heroes of Waterdeep, including Maristo) to a gladiator arena against Arian. The prisoner exchange fails and fighting breaks out.
- He is revealed as High Priest of the cult of Kosuth, god of Fire. The Artifact, described as a “lost gear of the universal machinery” that “manipulated in a certain way could work as a remote control”, links the model of all worlds through sympathetic magic. Utah uses it as an instrument of elemental power.
- He sends the heroes to the “semiplanes of Terror” for food, and plans a force against the Dragon of Ur-Draxa, representative of Tiamat in Athas.
- The “Gear, megaartifact” later reappears in the active gesta.
Role
Utah appears in the Egyptian arc of Amitlai, in the Contest and extensively in the arc of Athas. He operates on at least two timelines: as Vizier of Fire in Athas and as Amitlai’s adoptive father in the Egyptian arc.
